In the autumn of 1913 John Reed was sent to Mexico by the Metropolitan Magazine to report
the Mexican Revolution. He shared the perils of Pancho Villa's army for four months, present
with Villa's Constitutional Army when it defeated Federal forces at Torreon, opening the way for
its advance on Mexico City. Reed's time with the Villistas resulted in a series of outstanding
magazine articles that brought Jack a national reputation as a war correspondent. Reed deeply
sympathized with the plight of the peons and vehemently opposed American intervention,
which came shortly after he left. Jack adored Villa, while Carranza left him cold. Jack's Mexican
reports were later republished in book form as Insurgent Mexico, which appeared in 1914.
